The Other Side of Desire is the thirteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Rickie Lee Jones.

The Other Side of Desire is Jones' first album of original material since Balm in Gilead (2009)[1] and it received positive acclaim from music critics.

Jones began writing for the album when she moved back to New Orleans about two years prior and after on-and-off periods of writer's block.

[2] The album was recorded at the Music Shed studio in New Orleans with John Porter helming production duties.

[4] The Guardian rated the album four out of five stars and noted the "few overt homages" to New Orleans in the songs "J'ai Connais Pas" and "Haunted".
